Johnny Football gets the hammer. Sike.

Johnny thanks Oprah for her witchcraft.

Texas A&M has shown us that they won't tolerate any of Johnny Manziel's antics and distractions. They're benching him...for one half.

The first half of a HUGE match-up against Rice in the Aggies' first game of the season.

If you can't tell, that whole first bit was riddled with sarcasm.

I mentioned last week that Major League Baseball was a joke. Well, the NCAA is a larger joke. They tend to not grant eligibility to those who deserve it and going lightly on those that don't. But I never liked Manziel. See here.

He's getting this enormous suspension, as explained by the University and the NCAA, because he violated bylaw 12.5.2.1. It states that "no player can permit their names or likenesses to be used for commercial purposes, including to advertise, recommend or promote sales of commercial products, or accept payment for the use of their names or likenesses." (ESPN)

Manziel also has to talk to his teammates about the lesson he learned from this whole ordeal. Spare me. He'll go in, say something along the lines of, "guys I really messed up, now let me know who is down to go to Cancun for spring break."

I don't agree that college athletes can't profit from their faces on shirts and numbers on jerseys and likeness in video games. Granted, they are getting a free education, it's a full-time job along with being a student. With that being said, rules are rules, and you can't break them. Manziel did and he doesn't even get a slap on the wrist. A&M wins this game by six touchdowns.

If there was humor among the college football gods, then the seventh-ranked Aggies lose to Rice and I laugh for a good week and a half.

Oh well, I can only dream. Go Owls.
